Hello 2023!

The last few years have had its ups and downs. I hope this year is a good one for everyone.

If I had to rank myself on being pessimistic or optimistic, I would say that I fall between realistic and optimistic.

On the realistic side, I think a lot of work happens to make things happen. Yet even with that work, sometimes things don’t always turn out the way you would like. There are some factors one does not have control over. On the optimist side, I believe in learning from both failures and successes to determine what works, what is self defeating and what I can change going forward. There are many factors that I can control within my own life. That goes for my personal life and for my art.

So at the start of this year and as I do most years, I’m reassessing my personal art goals and one of those goals is to remind myself that for me, art, like anything else, is a process. No matter the outcomes, I want to enjoy the journey.

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

Cheers!

Ramona
